China's government is censoring what videos Americans can post on TikTok.

2024 Orwellian inversion.

Dissidents around the world risk lives to oppose authoritarian regimes - that peddle propaganda & fear.

People born into freedom inc in universities mandated to teach HOW to think freely - peddle & inculcate same propaganda & fear w/billions from same…

It’s a war.

“It’s not an issue of whether Russia wants to invade, it’s only an issue of if they can,” Popsoi said. “God forbid, if the Russians would feel emboldened, clearly Moldova would be next. And after that, it’s anybody’s guess.”

Here's a FREE link to my column featuring an interview…

4/ HRF strongly condemns Russia’s issuance of an arrest warrant against HRF Chairman Garry Kasparov. HRF reiterates its unwavering support for Garry Kasparov, standing firm in his commitment to #democracy and the pursuit of #justice .

Putin is a snowflake and can't handle criticism.

Accordingly, Russia just issued an arrest warrant for chess champion Garry Kasparov Garry Kasparov.

Absurd.

Why the hell are they letting air defense collect dust if they won’t use it to protect Europeans from Russian missiles and drones? Pretending Ukraine isn’t Europe, or worth protecting, sets the stage for saying the same about the Baltics or Poland. Cowardice is contagious.

Waking up at last?

Outrageous! Hossein Mousavian’s ties to Iranian dissident assassinations cannot be ignored. Princeton’s decision to employ him is an insult to victims of terror. I call on all freedom advocates to join us in demanding justice and accountability.

Thank you, Casey Michel & Elisha Maldonado for having me on Human Rights Foundation’s #DissidentsAndDictators podcast to speak about current states in Hong Kong following the enactment of #Article23 and more.

WORLD LIBERTY CONGRESS

I thought it was a bad idea to seize Russian reserves before the US congress had voted on the Ukraine package. It gave too easy a way to Congress to vote no and pass the buck. Now that they have voted, it is hard to think of good reasons not to seize. Yes, it will create a…

Lyuba Lizunova, 17, a high-school student in Chita, is sentenced to 3.5 years in prison for her anti-war posters. German Nazis executed teenagers for this, while Putin's regime just jails them, but Putin is a true heir.

Anyone that denies the humanity of an entire group should face consequences. That this person says people who support Israel’s right to exist don’t deserve to live has scores of people following them is so wrong….

1/ On April 24, #Russia issued an arrest warrant for Garry Kasparov, @hrf chairman and co-founder of WORLD LIBERTY CONGRESS and Renew Democracy Initiative, in yet another attempt to persecute a long-time vocal critic of Vladimir Putin’s regime.

Thankful to CNN for highlighting this alarming story. Regime in Iran plans to execute #ToomajSalehi , a prominent rapper, for his role in the “Woman, Life, Freedom” uprising. The regime is engaged in terrorism abroad and suppressing its own people. cnn.com/2024/04/25/mid…

The European Parliament's refusal to recognize Putin's presidency is a turning point.

Here’s why it matters 🧵👇

It’s just another excuse.

Scholz’ failure to commit to Ukraine’s victory is accurately reflected in government policy on supply in weapons to Ukraine.

This is not however in Germany’s interest or that of its Allies.

It damages both European Security & Germany’s reputation.

No one is proposing sending American troops to fight in Ukraine. When your best argument is aimed at a strawman, it tells you something.

'We must no longer give Ukraine just enough to survive, but not enough to win.'

Thanks, Bill. I’ll be following my trial with great interest!
